[AGM Battery for ISG System]

AGM batteries are used under especially high vehicle electrical loads, depending on equipment and requirements. AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Mat; this is an absorbent glass fiber fleece. AGM batteries are installed on models with high-power electrical loads/consumers. The constantly growing energy demand of modern automotive electrical systems requires even more powerful battery solutions. Energy consumption is significant even when the vehicle is parked. A somewhat higher price compared to a battery of similar size is fully offset by the following advantages:

• Significantly longer service life
• Improved starting reliability at low temperatures
• 100% maintenance-free
• Low risk in the event of an accident (reduced environmental risk)

Charging the AGM Battery: The battery can be charged with chargers at a constant charging voltage of 14.8 V. If possible, the battery temperature during charging should be within 20 °C (68°F) and 30 °C. Only chargers with voltage limitation (IU or WU curve) or chargers with an IUoU curve that have a trickle charge function may be used. IU or WU Charging Technique: Optimized charging voltage for IU or WU: 14.7 V (at 20 °C ~ 30 °C ~ 86°F) for approximately 24 hours. Min. charging voltage at 20 °C: 14.4 V. Max. charging voltage at 20 °C: 14.8 V. A charging current of 10% of the capacity is recommended (e.g., 60 Ah : 10 = charging current 6.0 A).
